The best way to use XML as a lite user-editable database is with surgical XPath 
strikes, so you probably already have a good design.

I don't know about the library you snipped, but I might be the only person in 
the world who based a system on YPath.

My "yar_wiki" project puts YPath to good use, in Ruby. Hit it here:

   http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510657/ <-- build a YAML wiki with YPath
   http://assertxpath.rubyforge.org/ <-- unrelated documentation
   http://phlip.svnrepository.com/svn/yar_wiki/ <-- special sauce
